Record-high 64 percent of Americans want marijuana legalized

This year's national survey shows the greatest approval for ending marijuana prohibition in the history of the study, and the first time that a majority of those who identify as Republicans support making marijuana legal (51%).

The 64 percent of Americans who told Gallup they support making marijuana legal is the most in the almost 50 years Gallup has asked the question.

The latest figure, based on an October 5-11 Gallup poll, follows shifts in the USA legal landscape regarding marijuana since Gallup's 2016 measure. If that sounds familiar, it's because it was also true in 2016 and 2013 as public opinion on the issue has been rising at a steady clip. Just a year ago, only 42 percent of GOP members surveyed said they supported legalization.

Morgan Fox, the director of communications for the Marijuana Policy Project, said in a statement Americans are "tired" of wasting resources arresting individuals for using marijuana.

Support for legalizing marijuana just reached a record high, with the vast majority of Americans favoring legalizing the drug, according to a new Gallup poll released Wednesday.
